Its not hype, its just the market
They'll be more of these than both the South Beaches and the Nerfs.
10,000 per colorway.
Not to mention, at the end of the day, despite what you think, this shoe doesn't have the appeal that a LeBron James shoe has or the Air Jordan 11 in the white/black/concord colorway. Trust me, you offer someone $500-600 first day, they might not take it.
7 days later, they'll reconsider.
You guys forget that while many a person on this message board is a "sneakerhead" or whatever you call yourselves/each other, most Kanye fans are probably not that and are not willing to pay $XXXX.XX for his sneakers. Also, the "hood" is not going to go all overboard for this shoe like they do for retro basketball sneakers. You guys really are freaking yourselves out. The odds are not in your favor to get a pair at retail. That's just simple math. But that doesn't mean they'll be impossible to acquire.
The collaboration shoe he did with Louis Vuitton... those were hard to acquire. On top of them being offered to VIC before the general public, they RETAILED at $970-1140. Not every Louis Vuitton got them (There are way less Louis Vuitton stores than Foot Locker/FootAction/Boutiques)... and you can STILL find those every now and then.
I mean obviously, you guys in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, all the ridiculously big metropolitan cities are going to see some mass hysteria, but it's like that for EVERYTHING in you guys cities. Playstation 3, Elmo, etc.
I stand by my original theory. Skip some Foam Pros, Retros, and LeBrons that you DON'T NEED, and you'll get your Yeezy 2's.
